#55 Nourish & Flow Festival 2026: RestFest - Rest, Recharge & Renew

What would it feel like to truly switch off… and be held for a weekend?In this special episode of Live Wild, Hilary Rose is joined by Wendy Riordan, founder of the Nourish & Flow Festival, for a beautiful conversation about rest, connection and creating space to come back to yourself.Nourish & Flow is a women-only, festival-style retreat designed to feel both expansive and deeply grounding. With over 100 women gathering in a peaceful, nature-filled setting, the weekend blends wellness workshops, movement, rest and community - all without pressure or expectation.Wendy shares the intention behind the festival, from removing rigid schedules to allowing women the freedom to follow what they need in the moment - whether that’s a sauna, a workshop, or simply doing nothing at all.Together, Hilary and Wendy explore what makes this experience so unique: the sense of safety, the depth of connection, and the quiet, powerful shifts that can happen when you give yourself permission to pause.This is a conversation about rest that isn’t forced, growth that isn’t pressured, and the magic that happens when women come together without expectation.Key topics we discuss:What Nourish & Flow Festival is and what makes it differentCreating space for rest, freedom and choiceThe power of community and connection between womenWhy there’s no pressure to “perform” or have breakthroughsThe balance between workshops, movement and true restGoing alone vs coming with friends - and why both workThe evolution of the festival and its intentional growthHow small, subtle experiences can create lasting changeTo find out more or buy your tickets today, go to nourishandflow.ie You can find Wendy here: Instagram____Key LinksWatch Hilary’s TEDx Talk here.Follow Hilary here: @thehilaryroseYou can contact Hilary on LinkedIn hereFollow Live Wild here: @livewildpodcastYou can read more about us or contact us at www.livewild.ieThank you for listening to the show, I hope you found it fun and inspiring.
